My office mate that imported the EOS, A4 wagon and the Mini used a car carrier service. They bring it right up to the border crossing of choice (he picked his cars up at the AB-Montana crossing). The fees are quite reasonable and will save you the airfare, hotel and gas on the drive home. I can find out as to which company he used, if you like.

Oh yeah. From KC to Denver crossed I-70. I was in my Corvette doing 100mph and I felt like I was going no where. I made the mistake of taking my wife on a road trip from Fort Leonard Wood MO to Colorado. Should have just flow and gotten a rental. I do no recommend a road trip honeymoon. My wife thought she would like it, but nope, that was a whole lot of nope. We are still together 7.5 years later so I guess she decided to still put up with me.

I've done it a few times; both directions. Once with the wife, actually. She's still around. The trip across Kanas is painfully boring, however.

I'm a big Lotus fan, but the Elise and Evora (especially the Evora 400) are more my style. The Esprit is still really cool though, and I don't see many of them around. That particular one was a V8 model. It's always parked at a shop north of Charlotte that tunes McLarens, so I assume it's daily driven.

Just kidding, of course. I believe the owner also owns four businesses around the downtown area, and one of them is on that street. The closest available parking spot must have been right there in front of the bail bonds place, but I just thought it made for an interesting backdrop. I think he daily drives it because I see it around downtown a lot.

Friday - To say that I'm proud that The Cleveland Orchestra is associated with my hometown puts that truth at its mildest. To hear an organization such as the New York Times make as glowing a statement as they just have only pleases me that much more. I love those guys and gals and the musical magic they make ... PERIOD.

I got home last night from an abbreviated camping trip. The trailer that I was staying in burned to the ground on Wednesday night, so the trip came to a flaming end. Thank God I was at a friend's site, and not inside!!

Haha I know. But when there's a woodstove inside the trailer, you tend to think a little differently. I was trying to defrost a couple of deep cycle batteries (on my brother's advice), but I don't think they were the cause. We'll probably never know the real cause of the fire, unfortunately.

I've always wanted a 944, or a 928. You can pick those up for less than the 944s usually, but I do think the 944 is easier to maintain. At any rate maybe I can use this as justification to pick one up.

Edit, after a quick search on craigslist right now you can pick up a first gen Boxter for the same or less money than a decent 944, and the only 928 I saw they wanted $20,000. Funny 5 years ago I nearly bought a good running 928, as in I drove it and everything for $5000, now, like bitcoin maybe I should have.
